Supt. Azar Offers a Challenge for Change
"As a regional school superintendent, I challenge our governor and our state lawmakers to creatively come up with much needed solutions to the inadequate reimbursement protocols for transportation, circuit breaker, and Chapter 70 monies which do not properly support the promises made to regional districts. Equally, I challenge our Rehoboth Board of Selectmen to work with our Economic Development Committee to explore and to support an Economic Development Plan for our town so that the taxpayer is not asked to dig deeper into their pockets to provide necessary school and town needs.
Despite the many attempts at distractions from what we aim to accomplish as a school district in Dighton-Rehoboth, I remain steadfast as I continue to focus efforts on the student-centered goals of our school district. I remain committed to work collaboratively, as working together as a T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More) is how this will be resolved and it is what will most benefit our town and our children."
Dr. Anthony C. Azar
Superintendent of Schools
Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District

Dt. Azar is right on the money. Focusing on an economic development plan needs to be a priority. If existing regulations and setbacks inhibit development it is time to think out of the box and make changes. With the additional residential expansion costs to the town's police, the educational system will continue to require more funding. No one wants big box stores, however, there are many ways to skin a cat.
